This game has now given a free pass for pirates to operate in hisec systems as we can no longer anchor cans in 0.8 or above systems and can mining is now the only profitable way to mine. I have only been a miner for a short peroid of time and I have noticed that now that this new system is in place can flipping is becoming alot more profitable than the mining itself.
If this was there intent then i applaud what they have done in making this game more profitable to be a pirate then a miner, however if this was not there intent then I would suggest that you review all the evidence and make it illegal to can flip in the systems 0.8sec and above where the new chars to this game are usually found mining or they could make it so that can flipping lowers your security status as this would make it so that these pirates would eventually have to move on to the lower sec systems instead of staying forever in the safe zones.
It is becomeing apperant that mission running is becoming more profitable than mining because it is faster and less chance of some jackass running in and stealing all that you have worked hrs for. This is not some random jackass I am talking about because in the time that I have been mining I have been can flipped over 45 times and I havent even been mining for a month yet
If anyone has another idea on how to stop the NEWB KILLERS I would really like to hear them however it would be very annoying if all you do in a reply is say some stupid remark like "NOOB L2P pirates are part of the game" as i already know this however pirates that only attack new players are driving people away from this great game by making the start all that much more difficult and its hard enough already.
Just so you dont think im just begging for stuff for myself I would like to point out that I have been mining in a 0.5 sec system since I was last can flipped in a 1.0sec system and I have not been can flipped again since because this new breed of pirates are chicken ****s and dont like to venture into 0.5 sec systems so they prey on the newbs of this game making it less and less fun to even try to play at the beggining and I think there is enough problems there without adding a new one of pirates in starter area's that noone can do anything about cause they only attack the weak new players.
As a side note i would like you to know that i do not hate that this game has pirates at all. I find it adds a whole new feel to the mmorpg genre that people can actually choose to be evil and im not just talking that annoying evil like horde vs alliance in WOW but to be truely evil and be able to kill anyone you feel like it. HOWEVER there was a reason that there is high sec and low sec systems. it is very annoying that it is safer to be in a 0.5sec system to mine than it is to be in a 1.0sec system because of this new breed of pirate.

omg guys did you even read the whole post?
Please keep your replies to ideas to counter this new weakness in the system not about how every char MUST join a corp to play safely as this was about the newbs not the people that have been playing for months and know how to play

IMHO, you shouldn't mine before you can fly a cruiser, at least. It's just not attractive from an isk/h pov. Just do the numbers.
Btw: how do you manage to get successfully can-flipped, anyway? It can't happen while you're filling up if you're paying attention, you should be easily warping away fast after collecting your stuff, and not idiotic enough to get your stuff while already locked by a tackler.
Edit: Grammar
I cannot even fly a cruiser yet however I am in a retriever with tech 2 strip miners and a hoarder hauler ship

Then get some cargo expanders and make every ore thief wince. It's not like a retriever would have a significantly undersized cargo hold.
Sadly, it does not seem to be "adapt or die", but "adapt or whine".
Edit: bbcode is a complicated thing, you know.
im using tech 2 cargo expanders and i fill my hold every single cycle my hauler has tech 2 cargo expanders and giant secure containers however i am filling a jet can every 25 min and have to go back to base every time i want to get my hauler if i do what you are suggesting i will be warping to and from the belts and stations every singe cycle and the retriever cannot warp very far per full cap
all im saying is that STEALING should lower security standings aswell or else the aggro timer should be alot longer or the person should get kill rights or something i mean atm it really is possible to steal from people with no concinquences
